No matter how many times you wash them, they stink. 

Not only that, but it also lingers on your skin for days, whether you wash your arms 6 times with industrial strength cleaning products. There's just no shifting it.

I love music, especially the North-East local music scene. My obsession of unicorns is getting too much, my collection is growing out of control. I like animals so I don't eat them. Lover of all things vintage and ugly. Oh and i'm one of those ginger people. Twitter/Instagram @beccaBLC
